Researchers say they’ve created the world’s densest memory circuit, about 100 times denser than today’s standard memory unit and as small as a human white blood cell. Although mass production could still be a decade away and the chip contains only a modest capacity of 160,000 bits of information, the achievement points to the possible exponential growth of computing power. It is a “milestone in manufacturing,” said the team led James Heath of the California Institute of Technology and J. Fraser Stoddart of the University of California, Los Angeles.
